KARACHI: Pakistan captain Babar Azam is set to topple Indian captain Virat Kohli as the top-ranked ODI batsman in the world.
It was earlier reported that Azam has dethroned Kohli after the end of the three-match series against South Africa last week.
However, the rankings were not updated as the ICC updates its tables on Wednesdays at 1:00pm.
As per cricket statistician and journalist Mazher Arshad, Azam needed 70 or more runs in the final ODI against South Africa to claim the top spot.
